Attempted Burglary.

During Monday night two per-
sons, supposed to be tramps,
attempted to rob Phil. Doyle's
house. Mrs. Doyle and daughter.
Miss Jennie, who is confined to her
room by q serious illness, were the
only occupants of the house. Hear
ing o peculiar noise in the back
room Mrs. Doyle went armed with
q pistol to see what caused it, when
she discovered the burglars attempt
ing to enter the house. She snap
ped the pistol at them but it failed
to shoot. The invalid young lady
then screamed for help, when the
would-be robbers fed. This incl
dent shows that the numerous
complaints recently made about
providing tramps have some founda-
ton, and calls for the utmost vigil
ance on the part of our police.

The DctrOiIs Are Coming.

The boss base ball club of the
United States will pass through Me-
vada next November bound for
Sacramento. 1t is the famous De-
troit Club, with full nine and an
extra pitcher and catcher. Among
them is Kelly, the $40, 000-pltcher,
Brothers, the champion first base
man and batter, and Dunlap, the
champion second baseman. The
manager of the club writes that
they will be in Sacramento about
November 10, and would like to
play a series of three or four games
in that city.
Several of our prominent citizens,
who are interested in this manly
sport, have written to the manager
asking if his club could not be in
duced to come to Carson before
passing through to Sacramento and
play game here. II they can be
persuaded to come it is proposed to
make up . nine flom all the differ
emit base ball clubs in the State to
meet them. 1t would be a very in
teresfing event il such q match
could be arranged, one which peo-
pie would travel many miles to wit
ness. It would also be an object
for the Detroits to come here, and
if they should the APPEAL bespeaks
q royal welcome for them.

Father Pine.

We have before Us the picture of
perhaps one of the oldest living in
habltants of the United States. 1t
is the portrait of Daniel Pine, the
Father of d. N Pine, formerly Dep
uty Sheriff of Washoe county and
now a guard at the State Prison.
The picture was presented by Mr..
Pine to the Rev. Geo. r. Davis,
Chaplain of the Prison, to whom we
are indebted for the pleasure of see
ing the portrait.
Father Pine was born in Boston,
Mass, on December 81, 1886, be-
ing thus close on to the l0lst an
niversary of his birthday. He has
at various times lived in Arlington
and Williston, Vermont, Stockholm,
New York, and also in Ohio. In
1S45 he moved to his present home
at Paw Paw Grove, Lee county, IL
linois. He is by occupation farm
er. He celebrated his one hun
dredth birthday last December, on
which occasion large company OF
neighbors and friends assembled
aud presented him with one hun
dred silver dollars, and later in the
day eighteen silver dollars more.
He sat for the pI"ture mentioned on
April of this year, at which time
he was hale and hearty and his
mental faculties we'll preserved and
he seemed strong and vigorous
enough to reach another birthday.
May God spare Father Pine for
many more years

cold Lavender.o

"Old Lavender" was presented
to large and enthusiastic audi
ence at the Opera House last night.
1t was one of the best performances
ever given in Carson, as was made
manifest by the frequent applause
of the audience. Harrigan's per-
sonation of the difficult cha, acter of
"Old Lavender" was declared to
be perfect by all. Mrs. Yeamans
as "Mother Crawford" Mr.. Collyer
as stThe Rat and Mr.. Wild as
"Smoke" were the best in the sup
port, acting their parts we'll. The
music by Braham's band was ex-
cellent and alone almost worth the
price of admission. 1t is not often
that such q good company comes to
Carson, but when they do they are
literally patropized and appreci-
ated.

ipated. A platform had been erected in an
open field for the speakers and about this
all gathered. Excellent instrumental
music for the occasion was furnished by
one of the brass bands of the division. All
who spoke expressed full confidence in the
triumph of the Union cause. At the close

SECTION xvII.-oN THE MISSISSIPPI
IN 1864.

Baton Rouge, on the Mississippi, an i'm
portant place and capital of Louisiana,
was taken possession of May z, 1862, by
the Federals, not long after the capture of
New Orleans. Later General Williams,
with several thousand troops in his CON-
mand, was stationed here. In mid-sum-
mer considerable sickness prevailed
among his men, and, this fact reaching the
ears of the Confederate authorities, Gen.
eral John G. Breckenridge, ex-Vice-Presi-
dent of the United States, attacked Gen.
eral Williams very early on the morning
of August 5. 1862
The latter officer had but twenty-five
hundred electives to rAel tho attack
made with twice that many Confederates.
Maine, Vermont Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana
were represented in the troops under Gen.
eTal Williams, but the regiments, on ac-
count of sickness, were mere skeletons.
The Indiana regiment lost all its field
officers, and General Williams said:
Boys, will lead you," and, placing him
self at its head, received the hearty cheers
OF The men, when he was shot through the
breast and died.
Tho Confederates were repulsed, but
shortly after the engagement Baton Rouge
was evacuated by the Federals. In De-
cember, 1862 it was again occupied this
time by General Grover with force of
ten thousand men. From here an advance
was intended to have been made against
Port Hudson, but was for the time post
poned.
After the opening OF tho Mississippi
Baton Rouge was, of course, easily and Sc
curely held by the Federals. At this place,
after the return from Red river, the
writer's regiment was for time stationed.
The writer at the end Of the spring
months had not fully regained his health,
but early in June became so restless that
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1887-06-02

The fever for shoulder-straps became
quite prevalent, and many an ambitious
young man who saw no opening for promo
ton in his own regiment began to brush
up his tactics and then went before the ex-
aminers and later secured commission in
the ''Corps dAtrtqae."
While at New Orleans quite number
left the writer's regiment in this way, and
later at New Iberia in October and Novem-
Der, others went in the same manner.
Thus a number of the best men were lost
to the regiment.
Towards the end of October quite an ex-
element was created by q rumor that the
post of New Iberia would be attacked. The
Confederates were known to be in force at
Vermillion Bayou, some eighteen or twen-
ty miles west, and detacRments of cavalry
were constantly watching their move
ments. New Iberia being so near the en-
envy was in danger, and to strengthen it as
much as possible an extended line of rife
pits was made.
The citizens of New Iberia were made to
work on them
Our cavalry surrounded and captured a
small body of the enemy's cavalry. The
Confederates were brought in one morn
ing, and many of those composing the
force at New iberia went out to the road
as they passed.
The prisoners were disarmed and put
upon their horses, but the reins of each one
of the latter were held by Union cavalry
man well armed and mounted, who rode at
the side of the prisoner.
One of the captured cavalrymen, as soon
ss he came in sight, noticing the throng of
blue coats that had come out to the road,
began yelling at the top of his voice:
'Here's your id rebels Here's yourd-
rebels! ''Never was there q squad of men
gotten together, Union or Confederate, but
had its loud-mouthed member, some smart
Alick' whose tongue at all times seemed
loose and who never lacked for word nor
occasion to speak.
There were but few sick in the hospital,
but ''sic6-cGW' was, of course, held daily
About nine each morning two musicians
with drum and fife came to the surgeons
tent and played peculiar strain that AL
soon came to recognize as ''sick-calL"
Immediately upon hearing this the indis.
posed from each company came to the sur
geon's tent where they were examined,
prescribed for and excused from duty, if, in
the judgement of the surgeon, their all
ments merited it.
In the army men, varied greatly regard
ing their infrmities Some were always
complaining, always ON the sick-list, and
yet upon examination but little in the way
Of ailment could be found.
Others were non committal and went on
duty as long as they were able to stand on
their feet and stayed away from the hospit-
al and care of the surgeon as long as pos
sible
A few were malinqerers, and sought to
''play-of sick' as it was phrased in tho
army But this class were nearly always
detected by the surgeons and very often by
their officers. They were held in contemps
by all, as class.
Sometimes the surgeons erred on the
other side, however, and put men on duty
who were really ailing; this mistake was
unfortunate, but is not always avoidable
when some are constantly trying to shirA
duty by assuming indisposition. The list
of drugs used in the army was not a very

SECTION XVI. - TEXAS, HOME AND
BACK TO THE RED RIVER

OF the eleven States that seeded and in
augurated the war of the Rebellion, none
came off so easily as Texas. The immense
extent of this State, its sparse population
during wartime and it's position way of
to the Southwest OF the populous centers
were some of the causes of this partial ex-
emption from the ravages'of war.
October 8, 1862, Commodore Renshaw
with feet of vessels took possession
of Galveston, Tex, without meeting re-
sistence.
Towards the end of the year small
body of troops, about two hundred and
fifty in number, was sent by General Banks
to assist in holding the place.
Meanwhile General J. b. Magruder, who
was in command of the Confederate De
partment, came from Houston and before
dawn on the morning of January l, 1868, at
tackled the troops with a storming party;
and with artillery and some steamboats,
protected with cotton bales, manned with
sharp-shooters and provided with cannon,
attacked the feet The Federals were I'M
prepared for sudden attack The Harriet
Lane, one of the Federal gun boats, how
ever ran into Confederate vessel and
sank her, but at nearly the same moment
another Confederate boat became entangled
in the wheels of the gun-boat in such a
way that she was powerless to escape or
offer resistance, swhen swarm of Confed-
crate sharpshooters boarded her and took
possession.
Commodore Renshaw meantime had the
misfortune to run aground with the flag
ship (the Westfeld), and finding it i'm
practicable to get off in season it was de.
cided to blow up the vessel
This work was put in the hands of man
who was, so it is stated, rendered incom-
petent by drunkenness. At any rate the
| explosion was premature, and Commodore
RenshaW and number Of others lost their
lives. The remnant of the fleet escaped to
New Orleans, and the infantry and stores
at Galveston fell into the hands of the
Confederates.
The blockade about Galveston was, how
ever, promptly renewed by Commodore
Bell with competent fleet January II,
1863, the Hatteras, a Federal gun boat,
gave chase to strange sail, seen in this
vicinity, and when some distance out to
sea was turned upon and destroyed by the
stranger, that turned out to be the famous
Alabama.
A little later, two Federal gun-boats, on
duty at Sabine Pass, were suddenly at
tackled and captured by two Confederate
vessels that came down the Sabine river
Thus, in Texas the Confederates were
having things their own way.
The operations OF Banks in the Teche
country in the early spring of 1862 and
against Port Hudson later, engaged the at
tention of all the forces at his disposal.
Toward the close of the year, Banks
again turned his attention to the
repossession of Texas soil, and De Crows

DEATH OF GENERAL THOMAS WILLIAMS
Reduced from Battle Scene in Harper's
stream, upon the other side of which were
some Confederates.
Several expeditions from Morganza were
sent to engage these forces. But none of
them resulted in more than some desultory
firing across the Atchafalaya that wounded
few of our men.
At this time the Sanitary Commission
an organization having its headquarters in
the great cities of the North-sent out vast
quantities of reading matter to the hospi-
tails. This included such periodicals as the
Hdrper's, atlantic, Eclectic and Lippincon'S,
and such papers as the New York Observer,
Standard, Herald, Advocate, etc. Nearly all
of the latter class were religious weeklies.
These periodicals helped to while away
many tedious hours.
With those of literary tastes and inclina-
tons it was nearly always quite a task to
get even modicum of reading matter An
odd volume was now and then picked
up, sometimes found in q deserted house,
at others stumbled upon in the hands of
some soldier who lacked appreciation
This when read was passed to friend,
who may be in return for the favor took
pains in the near future to place in one's
hands some excellent book. Thrown
about camp and apparently unappre-
ciated, the writer found copies of Byron
and Shakespeare. With such a paucity of
literature whatever was found was surS to
be read with unusual pains a nd pleasure
no paradox is intended
At one time during the siege Of Vicks-
burg the Colonel of the writer's regiment
was indisposed and spent few days off
duty at the hospital He was a man Of
culture and education At this time the
writer had picked up somewhere an ele-
metary work on chemistry and was from
time to time reviewing it as it was directly
in the line of his medical studies.
This chemistry fell into the hands of the
Colonel, and he read it from beginning to
end with avidity.
At home, where access would have been
had to reading matter in abundance, the
probabilities are this officer would have
scarcely glanced at chemistry.
Circumstances alter cases'' is an old
adage as true in literary matters as else
where.
